KISS - Sonic Boom - back to their best
As a lifelong fan, I'm more than used to the usual promises made by Kiss prior to the release of new albums, but the pre-release hype surrounding 'Sonic Boom' has seemed more genuine than usual.
Is it, as Gene Simmons has suggested, their 'best record since Destroyer'? Well... no, but as an overall album it's definitely the best thing they've released in decades. The real surprise is the contribution from Simmons himself, it's easily the best material he's turned in since the 70s. In the States they're following the AC/DC 'Black Ice' model of a WalMart exclusive (including a free re-recorded greatest hits CD and live DVD as part of a 3 disc package) and the album is already top ten in Play.com's pre-order sales chart here in the UK. It's going to be very interesting to see how this goes when the album is released in October. Roll on the UK tour |
